About our external mastic in Basingstoke
For buildings in Basingstoke, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean joint faces and the right depth. If you are dealing with cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint, we can help, whatever the surface.
Landlords and managing agents in Basingstoke have plenty of walls and rooflines to keep an eye on. The first sign is usually a dripping gutter end or a stain below a failed joint.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.
Quotes for external mastic in Basingstoke
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
- A few pictures by email, if you can
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
When to call us in Basingstoke
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. Sealant bonded to three sides has nowhere to go and tears as soon as the joint widens.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Failed seals between different materials
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
If you let a flat or house near Basingstoke station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- What the cure time is
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Different surfaces, different methods
Render joints
Cracks along render joints let water in behind the coat. Resealing the joints early keeps water out.
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joints work hard every day. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In Basingstoke, we work in everything from flats and family homes to offices and hotels. Whichever it is, tell us how to get in, where to park and where the work is.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Outside joints around Basingstoke
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as The Vyne (about 2.9 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Basingstoke as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Schools such as King's Furlong Infant School and Nursery are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around St Michael's Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
